This is a green 1972 Luxury Lemans with a "The Jury" option. Whoa, hold it. "The Jury" option was done on only 26 silver 1970 LeMans's in 1970 by Stampede Pontiac Buick in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. They all had blue interiors and 1969 spoilers. They did have the bumble bee stripe and fireball graphics on the rear fender like this one. CLICK->

Take a look at this door. It's got the optional driver's side remote control mirror and power door locks. It also has the optional LeMans Sport interior which comes with bucket seats and these door panels. Because of the pull strap on this panel, the GTO nameplate is not present on the door. CLICK->

Just to the right of the lamp, is the lamp switch. When the hood is raised, the switch plunger goes up and turns on the light.

This is susposed to be a copy of the original build sheet. I'm not sure if this is really what they looked like. However, it is a nice list of options for this car. The GTO was an option on the LeMans in 1972. I don't see anything about the remote mirror or power door locks. CLICK->
Red 1972 LeMans convertible owned by Kevin Kelley from Germantown, Tennessee. Kevin comments, "I just purchased from a great owner of 16 years. It's an all original 72 convertible w/ rare Endura option. I have no desire to mess up a great original LeMans and make it a fake GTO. If there would have been a GTO convertible in 72, this would have been it. It's got the original interior with complete gauges and A/C. Great running and sounding! I will keep it as is." CLICK->
